Just beware that PCB will not track the connectivity of the remaining
pieces properly, and this can lead to all manner of badness.

My "pours" branch attempts to address this, but as I started it before I
knew of the "fullpoly" flag, I've not yet made the changes in behaviour
conditional on that flag.
